E. W. Crane, of this city, has
been appointed timekeeper by the
state board of directors of the
Transmississippi exposition at a
salary of sixty-five dollars per
month. It is said that local pol
itics has cut some figure in the ap
pointment. Crane has been an
avowed candidate for the populist
nomination for county judge and
the leaders have been opposed to
giving him the nomination, yet
at the same time they recognized
; the fact that if he did not receive
the nomination he would be a dis-
1 turbing element in their ranks.
Hence'they believed the best way
out the difficulty was to get Crane
out of the county and they prevailed
on Neville, who is president of the
board of directors, to appoint him
a timekeeper. This leaves an easy
way for O. H. P. Buchanan to se
cure the nomination for county
judge.

It is said that the democrats
will hold their convention on Satur
day, August 28th, the same day the
populist convention meets. It is
understood, or at least we are in
formed by a democrat, that an
effort will be made by the demo
crats to secure a fusion with the
populists, the former demanding at
least two places on the ticket--
either treasurer, clerk or sheriff,
and county commissioner. In case
the populists refuse to recognize
the democrats, then a straight
democratic ticket will be placed in
the field. Populists in the country
are opposed to fusion, while many
in town iavor it.
Last evening's Omaha Bee con
tained the following1 relative to the
sale and control of the Union Pacif
ic: Advices received from Boston
are to the effect that the plan for
the control of the Union Pacific has
been completed there and in New
York City. This plan contemplates
the purchase of the Union Pacific
at the sale which is to be held
probably about October 1, the con
solidation of it with the Oregon
Short Line and the control of the
entire consolidated system by the
Vanderbilt railroads. While the
Vanderbilts may not figure promi
nently in the pperation of the Union
Pacific, that road will be run in
connection with the New York
Central and its tributaries, thus
giving-the Central a through line
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, be
ginning at New York and ending
at San Francisco. The Union Pa
cific already controls $8,000,000 of
the $24,000,000 of the stock of the
Oregon Short Line. Mr. Carr, of
Boston, who is trustee of the Ames
estate, controls another block of
$6,000,000 of this stock. It is the
present intention of the parties in
terested in the reorganization to
pool these two interests, thus giv
ing to the Union Pacific $14,000,000
of the stock of the Oregon Short
Line, or enough for the control of
the road.

to devote both her time and money
to the advancement of the home and
